LOWELL LAKE.

We are to celebrate the 4th. The
Grafton Cornet Band will be here
and Capt. Ladd's Orchestra will
furnish music for dancing during the
day and evening. Everybody goes
to Lowell Lake to get a good dinner
and have good time. The grounds
are all in perfect order, and every
thing is looking fine. Boarders are
coming the 27, 20, and 30th, much
earlier than usual, and the season
bids fair to be the best, yet. Sever
al rides have already engaged accom-
modations for the 4th, and there is
room for many more.
Although we had much snow and
late in the season, the farmers think
their crops of grass and grain were
never so good or so early as this sea-
son. Most all of them take the SIF.
TER and enjoy its prosperity and
their own good prospects for the sea-
son, which of course makes everything
pleasant and happy.

A NINETY-FIRsT BIRTHDAY,
An OLD RELIC Gone.

The large willow tree, that has
stood in d. f. Faulkner's door yard,
near Lowell Lake, for over q century
and has attracted the attention of
thousands of passers by, has gone to
its final rest-like all earthly things
has succumed to the ravages of time,
and no longer defantly faces the
northern blasts but lies slow on the
ground" This tree has history
coeval with the first settlement of
the town. Over century ago when
emigrants came through, almost, a
trackless forest, guided by blazed
trees, from Bellows Falls, one Mrs.
Miah Howe came through on horse
back and on the way cut willow
twig for a riding whip, and on hel
arrival at this place she stuck the
switch in the ground. 1t took root
and grew, and grew, and grew, until
it became a monstrous tree. Some
three years ago it was carefully meas.
ured and found to be 22 feet, IL 1-2
inches in circumference.

GIVE THEM A CHANCE!

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very wonder
full machinery it is. Not only the larger
air-pasages, but the thousands of little
tubes and cavities leading from them.
When these are cloged and choked with
matter which ought not to be there, your
lungs cannot half do their work. And
what they do, they cannot do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any of the family
of throat and nose and head and lung OBJ
structions, all are bad. All ought to be
got rid of. There is just one sure way to
get rid of them. That is to take Bos-
chee's German Syrup, which any drng-
gist will sell you at 40 cents a bottle.
Even if everything else has failed you,
you may depend upon this for certain.

Lake.

This popular resort is the rising star of
Vermont's attractions for summer home
seekers. The Lake, a beautiful sheet of
water three miles long, is situated in the
town of Londonderry, Vermont, and is
itself part of the mountains at about q,
800 feet above the sea level giving a cool,
refreshing atmosphere laden with the ar
oma of the balsam, hemlOck and spruce
trees with which the mountains abound.
The air is especially invigorating to the
| invalid and the tired and careworn. The
scenery, having in full view Mt Tabor,
Bromley, Stratton and Glebe Mountains,
is unsurpassed in New England and help
| to divert the mind from the cares of bus
| mess and give the desired rest and recre-
alton. This section of country has been
pronounced by artists who have spent
their vacation here,
| THE ARTIST'S PARADISE.'
The drives in every direction afford the
most charming views of mountain ranges,
while every step of the road is replete
with those delightful bits of scenery so
| fascinating alike to the Painter and Poet.
The gorgeous sunsets behind the mount
aims, flooding the landscape with the love
Hest aerial tints; the wild and rugged ra-
vines between the hills, with miles of
swirling cascades and waterfalls; the
ruined mills and broken dams the rustic
barn-yard scenes and genre subjects pre-
scented by thrifty but uncontaminated
people, as well as the unlimited and unre-
strained growth of foreground plants and
for the Artists sketch-book to be found
in no other section of country at so little
expense of time and travel. Upon the
western shore of the Lake is substan-
tial hotel with ample accommodations for
a large number of guests, and in addition
there are several commodious cottages
upon sites commanding the finest views.
Comfort has been studied rather than
display and the guest is made to feel at
home and at liberty to enjoy the beauties
of Nature, unrestrained by the cOnven-
tionalities of the typical summer resort.
The Lake is fully supplied with new,
handsome boats, and fishing and game at
tract the sportsman. Upon beautiful
island just opposite the Lake House
there are walks, rustic seats, croquet
ground and bathing house. Convenient
ly near the house are a bowling alley, bill
lard hail. photograph gallery and a hal
for dancing. The table is furnished al
all times with the substantials fresh veg
etables and fruits in their season. Abso
lutte cleanliness and order are maintained
and required.

Hen Surgery.

Martin Huntley had hen
Quite sick with Indigestion;
And how to cure her might have been
A rather doubtful question.
Poor hen could not volant to bed,
And on the floor she rested;
Her crop was big as baby's head,
With vituals undigested.
The seeming cause of biddy's woe,
If rightly I've defined it,
Was Indian wheat, quart or so,
And she no power to grind it.
So Mr.. Huntley took knife
And biddy's stomach lanceS;
Removes the wheat to save her life,
And brightens up her chances.
The crop was washed while inside out
With cleansing, nice, cold water;
He sewed tn incision then, no doubt,
As any surgeon ought to.
The effect was grand, the cure complete
Now biddy's laying daily
An egg for some poor soul to eat
She struts and cackles daily.
